Movie thoughts
There were lots of posts over on my Twitter account last night, from UK fans who caught the "Cirque Du Freak" movie on ITV2. I know lots of hardcore Shansters hated the film, but I have to be honest -- I liked it. As film adaptations go (and I think a film always needs to be compared with other films, not with books) I think it worked quite well, and although you might not know it by reading boards where most of the users are full-on Shansters, there are actually lots of people out...

It's a good film; but as a reflection of the book I didn't like it so much. There are better adaptations out there and I feel like the scriptwriters could have done a better job with the continuity. After all, with the way they mixed around some of the different elements from the series I imagine they've got quite a job on their hands if they'd ever like to create a sequel. Otherwise, it's a good film.
How I wish they made a movie for Demonata -_-

Yes....
Final Destination...Wrong Turn...Grudge and all will go down.

I'd LIKE THAT!

But they won't make it, even if they do... they won't let even adults see it q:

Well, that might be a bit of the exaggeration: they should make it, but I think it would take quite a bit of money to fund suck a difficult process. After all, there would be a lot of make up, prosthetics, and special effects involved.
Hmmm, can't they just kill a few people? :P
Maybe.. maybe yes! They could! maybe for the... convicts? bad guys in real life? Huh? WHy not?

The Thin Executioner must be turned into a movie. Its not too gory and has stuff like actual feelings and loyalty and revelations and stuff.
But I so want them to do it XD
BRB guys, need breakfast, XD

I haven't read that one yet; it's on my to-read but it's not in the library here so I have to wait until I can get enough money to buy. What's it about exactly?

Its about an ARROGANT, thin and weak kid called Jebel, a son of the executioner. Executioners are only second to the ruler in that state. So he needs to be muscular and all.
This father has two more muscular kids and announces that one of those two might continue his job.
Jebel is TOTALLY DISGRACED...his pops didnt even mention him.
So he quests north to find the fire God and gain invincibility. A slave must be sacrificed for the God. So he and a slave, Tel Hesani go on.
The story is on how the arrogant boy learns stuff about life through the journey, and mostly from the wise slave.
I wont spoil it for you....Read it soon. XD
I have to read it too :/

As soon as possible. :D It sounds like a good book.
Oh and also after they finish Cirque du Freak, The Saga of Larten Crepsley will be there :o

The Saga of Larten Crepsley was really great, so many caracters from Cirque du Freak show up again it's awesome (and sad because you know what happens to them) xD
But it really explains a lot of the backstory you wonder about in CdF :)
I honestly think there should be more movies of your books
U should make a movie series for ur books I love reading them try are so amazing I've read them a billion times each:)
I loved the movie, one of the best movie adaptations for a book that i have seen. My friend hated it but that's because she had a certain look to Crepsley and she hates John C. Rielly. My question is this: is there gonna be a continuation of the movies? I wold really love to see them actually go to Vampire Mountain.

My question ..."Really? I thought the adaptation was rather poor myself: they messed with the general plot a little too much if I remember correctly(In truth, it's been a while since I've seen the film or read the books, so I could be mistaken) and I didn't like that.

If directors did that, even with permission from the author, they can get slapped with a copyright lawsuit.

The movie was great, but as an adaptation I think they could have forward-planned much better.
It was good if you took it away from the books there is alot worse book to film adaptions . And now they wouldn't be slapped with a lawsuit as they got permission so now copyright
I liked it, but only if I tell myself it's a spoof movie.
I think that books are always better than their movies
Mirai wrote: "I think that books are always better than their movies"I agree with you.
I think there should be more movies on the series and i'm curious how going to play the vampire princes
there should be more movies made from the Cirque Du Freak series
I have watched the movie many times and I still love it!:) They should make more movies of the cirque du freak series - that would be amazing! (honestly don't know why a lot of people are saying they didn't like the movie...).
